    I feel silly asking because it's been discussed to death, but maybe we can put it to rest: Any indication of a special gift for waiting in line?

    Hearty congrats, @GasDoc! The car looks great! Mine will be identical but for the wheels. Looking forward to more from you as you experience the car over the next few days and weeks.

    Congrats! Looks great!

    Can you say anything about the delivery centre? Was it busy? How many DS do you recon where there? How many other customers did you see? What was the mix of Model 3 vs. S/X? If you had to estimate, did they deliver a handful, dozens or more Model 3?

    Thanks a lot!

    Congratulations! Collectively so many questions. How about these 2 comparison questions vs your MS...
    1. Backup camera quality. Same, better, or worse?
    2. Ride quality /compliance. Same, better, or worse?
    So nice to have a non employee vehicle delivery on the forums!

    I've never understood why anybody would ever do that. It makes no sense.

    Yes: Immediately after Elon announcing that such waiters would get a special gift, a flat was mailed with a designer artist's rendering of the Model 3.

    What about any NDA, did you have to sign any paper work not to discuss some aspects for the car?

    No NDA. A short clause in the sales agreement that I didn’t buy with the intent to resell for profit.

    Yes, you can (hopefully) configure and order your car slightly earlier than everyone else :p

    What I'm most curious about is how many looks you get, how many pictures are taken as you drive, and if you catch any of us trying to get your VIN.

    I think now that normal customer deliveries have started and we're just 10 days from 2018, this VIN thing has become kinda silly.
    Tesla will tell us how many M3s have been delivered for Q4'18 in 10 days. How about we wait for that ?

    Oh, well so much for the “free long distance” that Elon promised.
